This game has been going on at RMCR for a while, called Mystery Orchestra (I think since the Hatto news broke, LOL) and it has been popular. If you didn't really have a clue as to who, you were invited to make comments on the performance and interpretation. The results can be surprising, depends on how devious the game leader was.

I ran one myself there once, a variation called Mystery Comparison, with a short movement of a work, and 3 different intrepretations to compare and contrast. Quite interesting!

This kind of thing shows sometimes how critics' opinions can influence our listening, occasionally reactions with blind listening turned out rather opposite from reviews.
